I Big Chopped…

Yes I did! Before you
think I've given up on the creamy crack, I have not. I’m not going natural, atleast not anytime
soon. I’m pretty happy with my relaxed hair. I got my hair cut at Iconic Hair Salon by Keisha. She was professional
and the service was great.

I previously went to
another salon to get my hair trimmed and the Salon director couldn't decide who to
trim my hair. At this point my husband said I should have walked out. The chosen stylist was so scared to handle my hair. She ended up
cutting an inch all around my hair. I
honestly didn't feel comfortable but she did show me how much she was cutting off.
I knew I needed to find a salon that catered to black hair.

I’ll show you exactly why
I wanted so much cut off in my next post but I’m just sharing with you my first
good salon experience in Canada. Take a look at the process on getting my ends back in shape.

We talked and I told her I
wanted to share with you guys her process of her cutting my hair and she agreed
to me taking photos. I can't remember when last my hair was this short which sounds strange because my hair has been shorter than this all my adult life until the last 3 years.

This is my final result. I
love and I’m proud of my ends now. The hardest part is to maintain this
thickness and I have all plans to do so.
Overall I enjoyed my experience at Iconic Salon. The sitting area is
sectioned off from the actual salon so I wasn't able observe the hair practices
to see if I would get my hair washed or relaxed there.

Woah!!! My heart skipped a bit when I saw the title of the blog post. That is sooo brave gurl! And your hair looks super healthy too. Way to go. I've been considering doing a major chop too but not anytim3 soon. Next year maybe.

I was going to ask you if your hubby took the pictures, but you answered my question. I think your hair looks healthy. And I am sure the talking helped calm your nerves a little. I get anxious when I get my hair cut by a professional. I do my own trimming, Tomi. I get rid of any part of my ends that does not curl up. Big hugs babe!

Tomi, I got so nervous when I headed over to read this post! I'm glad you were able to find a salon that you could trust for your trim and caters to your needs. I'm still leaning on hubby for my trim lol. Your hair looks great, love. And I wish you the best in all of your hair goals!

I get my hair trimmed every 6 weeks and I did a chop (not as big as yours) but a chop nonetheless back in march. I don't like it when I feel that I need to do it but I'm all for the big chop. I love choppy clean ends and a fresh cut with shorter hair is always better than longer hair with thin ends in my book. Your hair looks super healthy!!

Oh my gosh! You cut so much but the nice healthy ends are worth it! And it seems you found a stylist that cared and listened to your needs which is a huge plus. I need to go ahead and big chop but with going natural I know the shrinkage will be unreal and I'm a little scared to lose that length. Any way, your hair looks great!

Your hair looks gorgeous. I love how thick it is and the blunt ends are my favorite. I don't know what happened to my hair but I felt through my hair and saw chunks of broken pieces in the back section. I was so disappointed so last week I chopped it off to a Bob. I love it but it needs a professional to even it out. I rather have short hair than thin uneven raggedy ends.

Hehehe when I read the title of your post I thought you were doing a bigger chop than this and going all the way natural. Your ends are looking awesome and healthy Tomi. Looking forward to the next post to see why you cut off so much more than we expected from a trim

I've been meaning to get over here and check out this post since I saw your instagram post. Tomes, I'm proud of you! I have been fighting with myself internally about doing something like this for a while now, but it is so hard to let go of the length. Right now, your hair is looking so good! I can't wait to see future posts with your hair at this length. Congrats!

Perfect ends! Love it! I'm about to do the same thing and i'm really excited about it! The more i'm on this hair journey, the less i'm obsessed with length. Better having healthy short hair than long uneven hair :) Thanks for sharing :-) !!
